SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IMPROVING SURFACE ELECTROMAGNETIC SURVEYS

摘要

A technique provides a methodology for improving surveys of subterranean regions (24). The methodology comprises estimating macro anisotropy and an intrinsic or micro anisotropy of an overburden (24). A surface electromagnetic survey (30) is conducted, and the data from the survey is inverted based on or including information (32) gained from estimating the macro anisotropy and/or intrinsic anisotropy. A processor system can be used to conduct the inversion with the adjustments for anisotropy to improve the information provided by the survey.
